Labor Day Road Trip to DC

Due to the success of our last trip to Washington, DC, as well as the completion of the new Nationals Park, Phillies Nation is organizing a trip down to our nation’s capital once again.

This season the Phillies play all weekday games when visiting the Nationals, but fortunately one of them is on Monday, September 1st, also known as Labor Day. It’s hard to imagine a better way to spend the day off work than at a 3:05 game in the new DC ballpark.

We’ll be leaving from Citizens Bank Park at 10am, which should give us plenty of time to tailgate with DC Phillies fans.

Tickets are $80 and include:

A seat to and from DC on a comfy motorcoach showing classic Phillies videos

The Phillies Nation bus has sold out, but we do have details on another bus if you are still looking for a ride down. Our friend Joe Benzon has a bus (or two) leaving from Roosevelt Mall in NE Philly at 9:30am that day. His seats are in section 403 and can be reserved for $60.

If you already have a ride to the game, you can still party with us or sit in our section or both. Buy your tickets here:

hahahahahaha yeah, I have noticed they are always putting up good beers to drink. I have some suggestions. I’m a bartender and know some really good beer. I’m psyched for this trip. I’m gonna talk to a few friends and see if they wanna go too.

Awesome. I’m a Morrisville/Levittown native and lifelong Phillies fan who lives in DC and is a season-ticket holder in Sec. 105, Row D.
I look forward to seeing the Nation out in force on Labor Day, though I’ll be drinking the cheapest beer possible (see above: ‘Morrisville/Levittown native’).

tim, my dad owns a sports tour company and has a few different phillies trips. some are home and some are away. check out the website http://www.goldglovesportstours.com. also, if you are interested, i could help plan any future trips you would be looking to take.

Of course. Phillies Nation promotes fan and family friendly environments at all programs and events. Though we can not be responsible for the things seen and/or heard before , during and after the trip.

But, if your kids are true Philadelphia fans then they won’t be phased at all from anything they will witness.

if you look at the website i posted, there is a mets-phils on the 6th trip already going. if the nation wanted so many tickets i could arrange for that to happen. let me know. search under the mets to see that game.

also, my dad bus trips include tailgate parties prior to the game. hamburgers, sausage sandwiches, chili, chips pretzels, etc. soda and water are provided and a half barrel of beer for each bus of course

Haha I don’t have kids, I’m just an 18-year old kid myself. I’ve got some friends who are 17 and I think we’d all be interested in making the trip and I wasn’t sure if it would be cool or not. I’d love to make the trip and become a real part of Phillies Nation.

Anyone going to Chicago before this trip… we were up in Boston a couple years ago, drinking with Ryan Madson in Cask-n-Flagon behind the green monster LOADED with LOADED PHILLIES FANS.. it was a great time and I’m hoping that Chicago is going be packed with Phils fans as well.. Got tickets for Fri, Sat, and Sunday that weekend

MY WIFE,THE BIGGEST HOWARD FAN I KNOW, AND I WILL BE IN D.C. ON LABOR DAY WEEKEND. WE ARE FROM PHILLY. WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO BE BEFORE THE GAME? MAY WE JOIN YOU IN A PRE-GAME CELEBRATION OF A PHILLIES WIN?

Brian Michael- I will definately bring a cooler with beer . Thanks for the input! Also, ordered 2 tickets and did not receive any email confirmation? I’m sure everybody might be asking rhe same question…
Tickets being shipped via postal mail or email ? and when should we expect them ?

Any idea where the tailgating is occuring. I’m a Philly Terp so I plan on jumping on the metro to go see the game and I know of a bunch of fellow UMDers who almost got kicked out of the old RFK stadium for being phillies phans last summer, we’d love to join the crowd

Hello people, it is Labor Day! I’m enjoying my extra day off, and I am planning to make something fun that’ll probably involve a bike ride and seeing something new in Marlborough I haven’t seen yet.
You write something new on a Monday at the labor day? … haPPY bLoGgIng!
